Well my LED build will be complete in about a weeks time.... When i am finished, I will be switching over completely, and will need to get rid of the current fixture that i have. The fixture is an 8 bulb (54watt x8) Sunlight Supply TEK light. It will come with 8 bulbs that are currently in...

Cherry hill here!

I would assume he was compensated in some way, and as a half full viewpoint I guess that it is better than nothing, but I would have much rather the article be withheld completely then submitted with the content it contained.

I actually don't think that was in there. I think I just signed my name in the letter but that was the copypasta from the one I put on their beloved Facebook page.

Haha thank you George, I'm still stuck in finals mode so all writing not done through my phone is decent lol. Eric is a defensive football player for Rutgers who broke his neck during a game, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down. Doctors told him he would be a quadriplegic and on a...

Does anyone have a subscription aside from myself? If so, and if you are familiar with the Eric LeGrand story of the Rutgers football player, I want to hear your thoughts on the article written "about him" in this last issue. I found it touching and heart warming that he was chosen for the cover...

im going to eventually upgrade from my aquacontroller JR setup to an apex or RKE controller, where a breakout box or module will be able to power and control the lights. Thats the ultimate goal. Probably about another 2 or 3 months. once i get my student loan check :) :) erm... yeah books...

Hes selling it, i was just posting to clarify the situation you were inquiring about. Sorry for the confusion.

Yeah I got you, I've never had an explosive ammount of growth with the "problem" corals like Xenia or mushies or yellow polyps... but my sps have always grown very well. I dunno. Guess that's a good problem to have haha

From all of the articles i have ready, unless you are really in dire need of more filtration and lower levels, it is safer and better to use less than the recommended amount, if it is working for you. I have read many stories of people running at the recommended amount and causing lots of...

controller is 80$. plus there is a wait. and shipping. so your saving yourself like 150$+ also leds hold value a lot more that halides etc because of the life span of em.

Thanks for the quick response! I have been having problems with my softies not opening up fully, especially the Rics, Could this be why? (low alk) or is there something else i should be looking at. because ithought it was light, and i adjusted multiple times for weeks at a time, with no...

Hopefully i will get the chance to take some pics tomorrow night, Girlfriend was in a car accident today so i spent the majority of my day off in the hospital :/ but everything is fine now so id trade a whole day of sitting there for some good news anytime lol. moved some rocks around largely...

Exactly my plan. Because of blackfriday sales they cost me like 60$ each I think. About. Driven with all hardware.

Thanks guys, I need to throw some more U channels on there, rivot em to the existing ones to disperse some heat... this thing gets hawt. Atleast till I can rig up some fans or something for some active cooling.

Just don't pay. Nothing happens.

So the nems are thinned out. 2 of the reds and like 4 of the greens. still have like 15 or so though. Everything is growing like crazy and im pretty happy but today i tested DKH and it was at 6.3 -.- So im raising it .50 each day till its where i want it. aside from that, using my hanna phos...

Done done done. Pretty awesome looking, gotta tweak with the brightness, and I think I'm gonna pick up another driver so I don't have to run the 2nd and 3rd strings parallel at the lower amperage. Aside from that I'm very happy with how it turned out. Now to mount it onto my fixture.

Okay well, after spending the last 2 hours on this project (only time i get to myself is past midnight lol) i have finally completed the hard part. all 3 sets of leds are wired up and firing. They are configured a little whacky for now but it works atleast lol. i can pry em off and change em...

gotcha gotcha. Im having a convo on reef2reef simultaneously so im sorry if i mix anything info wise. Bill from reefledlights is explaining to me the whole parallel strings and such, and i am planning on following what he has laid out, cause its pretty much what i wanted to do. I am "Planning"...
